Representing Amazon ElasticCache (no cluster)

I have AWS ElasticCache Redis (no cluster) with replications. I have an application that needs to connect only to slaves for reads and scale reads across the multiple slaves. I read through your API and it seems to me that I should list all slaves as sentinels and specify role as slave? I couldn’t figure out how to scale reads across slaves; is this supported?

var redis = new Redis({
  sentinels: [{ host: '127.0.0.1', port: 26379 }, { host: '127.0.0.1', port: 26380 }],
  name: 'mymaster',
  role: 'slave',
 readOnly: true
});

No, there’s no built-in way for this. However, it’s possible for you to create multiple connections to your replication (each for a slave), and route the queries to random connections. For example:

const slaves = [
  new Redis(/**/),
  new Redis(/**/),
  new Redis(/**/)
]

import {sample} from 'lodash'
sample(slaves).get('foo')

That is a really good alternative… thanks for the suggestion!
